Walden Pond(2007)

Walden Pond is a 102-foot (31 m) deep pond. It is 61 acres (250,000 m2) in area and 1.7 miles (2.7 km) around, located in Concord, Massachusetts, in the United States. A famous example of a kettle hole, it was formed by retreating glaciers 10,000 - 12,000 years ago.

“I considered that I enhanced the value of the land by squatting on it.” - Henry D. Thoreau
